Lilian Matthiesen

Lilian Matthiesen (born 1984)[1] is a mathematician whose research involves analytic number theory including the application of Fourier analysis to Diophantine geometry.[2] Educated in England, she has worked in France, Germany, and Sweden, and is University Professor in the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen in Germany.[3]

Education and career

Matthiesen earned a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in England in 2012, with the dissertation Applications of the nilpotent Hardy–Littlewood method supervised by Ben Green.[4]

After postdoctoral research at the University of Bristol, and in France at Paris-Sud University and the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche, she became an assistant professor at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany in 2015. She moved to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 2016,[1] and became an associate professor there,[5] before taking a position as University Professor in the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen in Germany.[3]
